Protects Against Engine Wear

AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil develops a strong fluid film that keeps metal surfaces separated while its robust anti-wear additives further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for maximum engine life. The Sequence IVA Engine Test, which must be passed to meet the industry-standard API SN specification, simulates extended periods of stop-and-go driving. For 100 hours, the test engine cycles between 50 minutes of idling and 10 minutes of elevated rpm – conditions that encourage engine wear. The camshaft is then measured for wear in 84 locations and an average score is determined. We used Signature Series 0W-20, the lightest viscosity in the line, to further increase the severity of the test. AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil provided 75 percent more engine protection against horsepower loss and wear1 than required by the industry standard, extending the life of vital components like pistons and cams.

Protects Pistons from Low-Speed Pre-Ignition

We armed Signature Series with an
advanced detergent system that protects against harmful deposits and low-speed
pre-ignition (LSPI). Most new engines feature gasoline direct injection (GDI), often
combined with a turbocharger to boost power and improve fuel economy. These new
technologies, when combined with a poorly formulated motor oil, promote LSPI and threaten
engine operation. LSPI is the spontaneous ignition of the fuel/air mixture prior to
spark-triggered ignition. It occurs in today’s advanced engines and is much more destructive
than typical pre-ignition.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like GM* have
addressed the issue by designing tests to determine a motor oil’s ability to prevent
LSPI. The GM test allows up to five LSPI events to receive a passing score.
Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil provided 100 percent protection against LSPI1 –
zero occurrences were recorded.

Protects Turbochargers

Our unique synthetic formulation is inherently stable to resist oxidation and neutralize acids. Signature Series Motor Oil provides outstanding protection against deposits common to high-temperature engine environments. The tremendous heat and stress turbos create can cause some oils to break down and form harmful bearing deposits through a process known as turbo coking. Over time, turbos can suffer reduced performance or fail altogether.

We challenged Signature Series to the GM Turbo Coking Test, which consists of 2000 cycles of extreme heat soaks. An oil must limit the temperature change within the turbocharger to 13 percent or less to pass the test. Signature Series limited the temperature increase to only 3.6 percent, protecting theturbocharger 72 percent better than required2 by the GM dexos1® Gen 2 specification.

Extends Drains: Protection Guaranteed

AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil provides reserve protection, allowing you to go longer between oil changes if you choose – up to 25,000 miles, 700 hours of operation or one year, whichever comes first*. Our unique synthetic formulation and long-drain additive system are inherently stable to resist oxidation and neutralize acids over longer periods. Signature Series is designed to deliver outstanding engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals – guaranteed. It provides peace of mind so you can fit oil changes into your schedule.

Preserves Horsepower

The extreme durability of Signature Series Motor Oil ensures your engine runs stronger, for longer. We installed Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil in a Ford* F-150 with a new 3.5L Ecoboost engine to test its ability to protect turbocharged direct-injection (TDGI) engines from torque and horsepower loss during extended drain intervals up to 25,000 miles. Power sweeps were done at the beginning and end of the test to evaluate horsepower and torque retention. As the graph shows, Signature Series helped maintain engine performance throughout the 100,000 mile test.

Horsepower increased thanks to AMSOIL Signature series

 

Limits Oil Consumption

Signature Series has a uniform molecular structure that limits evaporation and keeps it where it’s needed most – protecting your engine. Volatility (burn-off) occurs when oil gets hot, causing lighter molecules to burn off or evaporate. This leads to oil thickening, additive imbalance, higher emissions and oil consumption. The NOACK Volatility test is the industry standard for evaluating motor oil high temperature evaporation. It measures the percentage of burn-off after a motor oil is placed under constant airflow at 482ºF for 1 hour. A lower number indicates a better resistance to evaporation. Signature Series falls far below the API limit for volatility, reducing the need for frequent oil top-offs and limiting vehicle emissions.

less oil consumption

Easier Cold-Starts

Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil does not contain paraffins (wax) and stays fluid in temperatures of -58ºF and lower. Extreme cold causes other motor oils to thicken, starving vital moving parts of lubrication, accelerating wear and even preventing vehicles from starting. Signature Series provides 66 percent better cold-temperature performance for easier starting, better fuel economy, improved oil flow (as seen below) and reduced wear.

Maintains Protective Viscosity

We formulated Signature Series with superior thermal durability that resists breakdown better than conventional and synthetic motor oils. The Sequence IIIH Test uses the Chrysler 3.6L Pentastar engine to evaluate a motor oil’s ability to resist the damaging effects of heat. The test is conducted with oil temperatures of 304ºF, 100ºF hotter than normal operation, to accelerate oil thickening and deposits. Despite the extreme conditions, Signature Series kept pistons clean and held thickening to only 6 percent, a minimal amount compared to the proposed specification limit of 150 percent.1 This stay-in-grade performance helps maintain maximum power and fuel economy while also ensuring advanced technologies like variable valve timing (VVT) operate as designed throughout the entire drain interval.

Customer Comments:

Great oil for the long haul.
By Mike 12/25/2016

I use it in 2008 Taurus and a 2015 Ford Explorer. I’ve used it in the Taurus since 3000 miles and it now has 115,000 miles on it and have had no engine issues and still get 22 – 25 mpg. I bought the Explorer new and have used it since the first oil change and it now has 41000 miles on it. Love the oil ! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality Synthetic motor oil.

 

Definitely will used this oil for the life of my ownership.

The oil is advertized for extended oil change intervals, far more than the manufacturer recommendation. Following manufacturer change interval of 10K miles will ensure my engine and turbo will be protected by this oil.

 

Great product!

I use it because the additive package is so robust, it can handle the severe service manner in which I use my Explorer. Combined with the Amsoil Oil Filter, I can go 15k miles or 1 year, even under severe-service use.
